MATCH THREAD : " CARDIFF CITY v SHEFF UTD " MATCH THREAD

Robinson fashions some space to get a cross in and O'Dowda latches on to it - but can only head it into the defender in front of him.

Solid 20 mins from Cardiff, bit of probing from Cardiff

Better than mid week so far

Another wasted opportunity for Cardiff there.


Robinson initially does well to skin his man 25 yards from goal. He tries to slot through a ball to O'Dowda, but it's overhit and the chance is gone. O'Dowda was free there on the edge of the box.

Robinson again does well and his influence is growing in this game. He is found via a lovely ball from Ralls and hits a quick, low cross, but Foderingham is alert and gathers before O'Dowda can tap home.

Great wing play from Romeo there to skip past Enda Stevens. He tries to drive into the box and takes on one man, but his touch is too heavy and the ball is nicked off him before he can play the killer pass.

Top defending from Ng. Sharp with a wicked ball intowards Ndiaye, but Ng heads away in the nick of time.

Dangerous build-up from the visitors there, but a good foot in from Wintle quells the attack.

Close!

Romeo with a strong run up the right and he dinks a cross into the box, which Basham gets a head on. But it falls to Harris, who smashes a volley just over the bar!

Close again! Wintle with a thunderous volley from 30 yards and Foderingham can only watch it whistle inches past the post!

Should be ahead, Cardiff. Harris releases O'Dowda, who hits a fantastic cross right on to Robinson's head, but he steers it just wide of the post.

Cardiff ramping it up here. Romeo with another dangerous cross, which Foderingham flaps at. It's recycled and falls to Nkounkou, who blasts a volley wide.

Ralls with a fantastic cross. Kipre looks like he is going to win it - but can't get a head on it in the end. Goal kick.

City should be winning this

Cardiff almost in there. But Robinson is offside after Harris' pass.

Game has slowed down

Mark Harris had two chances to score including an open goal after United messed up in defence big time.

H-T 0-0

Good 1st half but disappointed we are not in the lead

H-T 0-0

Why didn't he just stick his left foot through it in stead of trying to get back on his right?

He was so close even a miss kick would have gone in.

Done everything but score, dunno why Cardiff want to take 95 touches before crossing it or shooting.

Beat your man? Cross it
Outside the box can see the goal? Shoot it

How the fk Harris didn't kick/fall/poke it in at the end....

Sheff got a goal in them I feel

Wayne, because Harris is not a natural striker and will never be

Kipre and Wintle have made a huge difference. Decent effort zo far.
Sadly same old, same old, in front of goal.
Harris surely should have used his left foot.
Nkoukou (and to a lesser extent Romeo) (?) still looks poor defensively.

Wayne, because Harris is not a natural striker and will never be

You at least expect professional players to have some ability with their "other" foot.

Even when I was playing we had training sessions where we built up our ability with both feet.

Desperate for another striker,those missed chances may cost us.

Good half should be winning sheff will surely change things 2nd half...
Dalman as made an appearance today.

Bluebirds

McAtee on for Arblaster, for the visitors.

Oh, Ng bails out Kipre. Kipre's pass is cut out and McAtee is through on goal, with only Ng to beat and two forwards for company. But his pass is cut out by Ng at the last gasp!

Ben Osborn with a good, low cross and Ng, again, has to intercept. He puts it out for a corner. United have just turned up the heat after the break.

McAtee finds Clark with a cross, but his header is wide.
